LIDDELL’S 

HANDBOOK OF 
CHEMICAL ENGINEERING 


DONALD M. LIDDELL 
Editor-in-Chiej 

Assisted by a staff of 31 specialists 
Two volumes, 1008 pages, 6x9, flexible; $8.00 net, postpaid 

This two-volume handbook is valuable as a convenient reference book 
on the essential information of chemical engineering. 

It covers principles and their specific industrial applications; describes 
equipment and apparatus; and gives costs and other efficiency data. 

The history of the development of this book suggests its value to the 
chemical engineer. An analysis was made of the chemical industries. 
From this analysis the editor chose for special sections in the handbook 
those processes that seemed essential to nearly all of these industries. 
Specialists in the several fields were engaged to prepare the sections. 
Each section was outlined to emphasize basic principles and to illustrate 
these principles by specific industrial applications, preferably in varied 
lines. 

The result justifies the care taken in planning the book. It is not an 
encyclopedia. It is not a mere table and formula book. Rather it is a 
conveniently-arranged, well-balanced handbook of essential information 
which the chemical engineer will find of daily helpfulness.

Waste in Industry 

By the Committee on Elimination of Waste in Industry of the Federated 
American Engineering Societies, with a Foreword by Herbert Hoover. 402 

pages, 6 x 9 . . .$ 4.00 

In January, 1921, Herbert Hoover, as president of the Federated American Engineer¬ 
ing Societies, named a committee of engineers to make a study of waste in industry. 
This is the report of that committee. It covers six industries—the building trades, 
men’s ready-made clothing, printing trades, metal trades, boot and shoe manufactur¬ 
ing and textile manufacturing. In addition to these six specific field studies, seven 
reports of a statistical character were prepared, each of them dealing with some aspect 
of industrial waste or its elimination on an extensive or nation-wide basis. These 
form the third section of this report. The book will serve as a foundation for an 
advance in American industry. It has a special message for government officials, 
financial, industrial and commercial leaders, labor organizations, economists, engineers 
and research groups.

A presentation of the material commonly treated in elementary books on chemistry 
in a form which can be reasonably well followed by the student through private 
study and with the smallest amount of explanation on the part of the teacher. 

The subject is developed slowly—consideration of the more abstruse material 
being deferred until the student has gained some familiarity with chemical phenomena 
and with the language of the science. 

The more recent advances in chemistry in both its technical and theoretical 
aspects are thoroughly covered. 

The book offers a stimulating first course in chemistry, well within the student’s 
capability, maintaining the student’s interest and emphasizing the more striking 
advances in industrial chemistry.

A well-organized laboratory manual so planned that it may be used with any text 
on inorganic chemistry. Each experiment is preceded by a discussion in which 
the principles to be illustrated by the experiment are stated. This discussion and 
the questions in the experiment are so presented as to prevent the student from 
missing important facts that are often overlooked. 

The book includes about 50 new experiments which are designed primarily for 
students who have some familiarity with chemistry. 

Each right-hand page is left blank so that the student’s notes on the experi¬ 
ments may be written into the book.

DESCRIPTIVE GEOMETRY 

Smith—Practical Descriptive Geometry 

By William Griswold Smith, Associate Professor of Mechanical Drawing, 
Northwestern University. Second edition. 268 pages, 6 x 9, 265 illustrations .. .$2.50 
This book aims to vitalize descriptive geometry. It starts with a full, clear presen¬ 
tation, takes plenty of time with the fundamentals to get the student into the spirit 
of the subject, then gradually shortens the analysis and explanations. It has several 
hundred practical problems. The intimate style, incidental remarks and hints, and 
suggestive questions put human interest into the subject. The book has been adopted 
widely. 

CONTENTS.—I.—Fundamental Principles. II.—Problems Relating to Point, Line and 
Plane. III.—Intersections of Plane Solids. IV.—'Shades and Shadows. V.—Curved Lines. 
VI.—Single Curved Lines. VII.—Warped Surfaces. VIII.—Double Curved Surfaces. IX.— 
Intersections and Developments of All Surfaces. X.—Pictorial Projection. 


Cutter—Descriptive Geometry 

By Lawrence E. Cutter, Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, 

Leland Stanford University. 224 pages, 6 x 9, 130 illustrations .$2.50 

A text which aims to teach the subject practically as the draftsman and designer use 
it in their work. 

The theory has been reduced to four simple principles, covering one page of the 
text. The text illustrates the use of these four principles through the detailed solution 
of elementary problems, and of problems taken from the fields of civil, mechanical 
and mining engineering, and of architecture. The last two chapters consist of a 
collection of original exercises, with definite data, to be solved by the student. One 
of the chapters consists of short problems, while the other contains more complex 
problems for drafting room use. 

CONTENTS.—I.—Condensed Theory and Method of Study. II.—Introduction, Definitions 
and General Principles. III.—The Four Essential Principles. IV.—Point and Line Problems 
V.—Problems Relating to Planes. VI.—Mining Problems Relating to Planes. VII.—Elementary

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING TEXTS 

Several years ago a committee of well-known electrical engineers, most of whom 
were actively engaged in teaching practice, was formed to outline a new series of 
texts and select authors to prepare the manuscripts. 

It was felt that the efficiency of electrical engineering instruction was materially 
impaired by the lack of satisfactory textbooks. To remedy this, a considerable series 
was outlined, each volume of which was to treat only its subject matter proper, and 
in a manner uniform with the other volumes of the series, thereby insuring continuity 
and uniformity of treatment.

GENERAL THEORY 


A clear treatment of the applications of electrical engineering, written from the 
standpoint of the worker who installs or operates commercial circuits and machinery. 
It assumes a knowledge only of how co handle simple arithmetic calculations, how to 
make ordinary mensuration computations, and simple equations and formulae in 
algebra. It aims to be of use as a textbook in evening courses for men who have not 
studied science, in trade schools, technical high schools, or in a freshman course in 
college. It contains a large collection of problems and questions.

ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING 


By Harold Pender, Professor-in-Charge, Electrical Engineering Department, 

University of Pennsylvania. 

A two-book course presenting: 

1. A description of the more important effects commonly described as electric and 
magnetic phenomena. 

2. A statement of the fundamental laws in accord with which these phenomena 
have been found to occur. 

3. The application of these laws to some of the simpler problems which arise in 
connection with the generation, transmission and utilization of electric energy. 

For convenience the work has been divided into two parts; one an introduction 
to the study of direct-current machinery; the other, an introduction to the study of 
alternating-current machinery.

MODERN MATHEMATICAL TEXTS 

A series edited by Charles S. Slichter, Professor of Applied Mathematics, 

University of Wisconsin. 

Both in the selection of material and the treatment of the various topics, these 
books conform to the modern conception of mathematical courses. While these 
texts have been prepared with the needs of the engineering curriculum especially 
in mind, the material used is suitable for students of the usual college courses. The 
books are not texts on so-called “Practical Mathematics” in the sense of making 
use of scientific material and fundamental notions not already in possession of the 
student.

Combines, in a single text, work in trigonometry, college algebra and analytic 
geometry. The various topics in analysis are treated as belonging to a single 
science and not as discrete subjects. While the text has been prepared with the 
needs of the engineering curriculum especially in mind, the material used is suit¬ 
able for students of the usual college course. It aims, both in the selection of 
material and the treatment of the various topics, to conform to the modern concep¬ 
tion of mathematical courses.

SECOND EDITION, REVISED AND ENLARGED 

American Electricians’ 
Handbook 


By Terrell Croft, Consulting Engineer 


Second Edition , Thoroughly Revised and Enlarged. 823 pages , pocket size , 
flexible , $4.00 net, postpaid 


The new, improved CROFT HANDBOOK gives you the 
latest information on practical electricity. It is brimful of 
those facts which every man engaged in electrical work needs 
to know. 

Think how much help you would be able to get from a con¬ 
venient pocket-size handbook that gives you in one book:— 

Practical suggestions for locating and correcting both motor 
and generator troubles— 

Clear directions for proper installation and operation of motors 
and generators— 

Explanations of fundamentals of practical electricity— 

Helpful data on transformers— 

All the details the practical man needs on wiring for light 
and power. 

All these topics and many more are covered in this one great 
pocketbook of practical electricity. 

The book is a reliable, useful handbook for wiremen, 
contractors, linemen, plant superintendents and construction 
engineers. It aims to give the practical man the facts on 
apparatus, materials and installation which he needs in his 
daily work. It does not go into design. It gives only enough 
theory to explain why certain things should be done in certain 
ways.
